"I'm pullin' for ya."

That's Howard Stern to Rod Blagojevich today, when the disgraced former governor appeared on the disgraceful shock jock's Sirius Radio program.

The Journal:

When Stern asked him if he felt his case was comparable to former New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, who resigned after a tryst with a prostitute, Blagojevich used an earthy analogy to say the cases weren’t comparable.

Blagojevich was arrested in December on corruption charges. Stern asked Blagojevich about the lame duck period as the accusations emerged. “It was more like slain duck,” Blagojevich said.

He had to put up with some ribbing from the crew, including speculation on the types of searches he would be subject to if convicted and sent to jail. Blagojevich said his trial was scheduled for June.
